Most of the time, (Okay, ALL of the time) I am trying running from one kid event to another. Band concerts, sporting events, practices, and rehearsals. Raising two sets of twins for the past 15 years means that you’re constantly on the go. Now, don’t get me wrong: I wouldn’t change a single thing. But raising a family and being on the go doesn’t mean that are going to sacrifice eating good, healthy food!
That’s why I love easy side dishes like Sheet Pan Roasted Vegetables. In the time it takes to bake a meatloaf, or chicken breasts, or a roasted pork loin, you can roast your vegetables, too, for a super easy, delicious side. Speaking of pork loin, Smithfield makes a delicious pre-marinated pork loin that you can usually find on sale at Safeway. It’s the perfect shortcut for busy families!
